plug in those points and see which equation hold true...
or you can do it the long way...

so to find m you have to use slope formula which is M= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

so it turns out to be -2/3

then you plug in one set of point to solve for b. ex: 7=3(-2/3) +b

B= 9 

so the final answer is y = -2/3x + 9
